D'oh!The Simpsons

The longest running American sitcom and animated program in history features a quirky, middle-class American family living in the town of Springfield. And for the record, just where is Springfield located?

For over 20 years, The Simpsons epitomize the struggle of society and humankind as a whole all the while poking fun at nearly anything that pop culture can throw at them. With a cast of hundreds of characters, one would ask how are The Simpsons able to find themselves in zany situations week after week? After all does Homer even still have a job? ... D'oh!
